Counting Macros vs Calories Counting macros is a

Counting Macros vs Calories

Counting macros is a more advanced way of counting calories. Your macros (protein, carbs and fat) will all total up to your overall calorie goal.

So why focus on macros and not just count calories?

👉🏻Protein intake: adequate protein ensures we are losing FAT not just WEIGHT. It also promotes muscle growth.

Weight loss can be fat, water, tissue, and muscle... again, focusing on adequate protein while in a calorie deficit will promote fat loss and preserve muscle maintenance.

👉🏻Balanced diet: you’re not eliminating any food groups, and can enjoy any food in moderation. You’re also eating in a way that helps performance, recovery and makes you feel good overall. 🙌🏼

Bottom line is that by counting macros you’re more focused on the content of what you’re eating and what your body needs to perform and feel it’s best.

Debunking a few myths around carbs... Myth 1: “

Debunking a few myths around carbs...

Myth 1: “I can’t lose weight because I’m eating too many carbs.”

Myth 2: “Eating carbs late at night will make you gain weight.”

Let’s first clear the air on carbs... Weight gain isn’t from eating too many carbs, or eating after a certain time. Weight gain is from eating more calories than you burn, also known as eating in a calorie surplus.

Carbs catch all the heat because they happen to make up the majority of foods that people most commonly over eat on, like donuts, cookies, pasta, etc. 🍩🍪

My rice cakes with bananas & PB2 are the same amount of calories at 11 am or 9 pm. It doesn’t change the amount of calories after a certain time, and your body won’t store it as fat because you’re eating it before bed and sleeping on it.

Carbs are our body’s go-to energy source. It is ideal to place them before and after workouts, but it is totally acceptable to save room in your day for a treat. I eat dessert every night after dinner. 😊

There are people who medically need, lower carb diets, or even prefer low carb. That’s ok!

The thing to remember with weight loss is that it’s driven by calorie intake. So if you don’t currently track your intake, remember, you can’t measure what you don’t manage. 😉

What other dieting myths have y’all heard??

Unstuffed Pepper Bowls 🌶 Save and tag a friend

Unstuffed Pepper Bowls 🌶

Save and tag a friend! 🤗

1 lb 96/4 beef
121g diced tomatoes
150g red bell pepper
150g green bell pepper
100g onion
Salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste

Brown beef and drain. In a separate pan, sauté onion and peppers. (I use cooking spray).

Combine the beef with the pepper/onion mix, and stir in the diced tomatoes.

Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

From here I put a Tupperware container on my food scale, hit the tare button (so it zeros the scale and doesn’t weigh the container) and I weigh the entire recipe.

When I create the recipe in MyFitnessPal, I enter all ingredients and put the serving size as 1. After I get the weight of the whole recipe, I change the serving size to what the recipe weighed in grams.

This recipe was 712g. You can weigh and decide how many grams you’ll eat as you go. Or you can divide that by the number of servings you want.

For meal prep:

I divided mine by 4 which makes 178g per serving. I added 100g riced cauliflower to my mix, and 28g Velveeta shredded cheddar cheese for the lunch bowl.
